Those leaves could be harvested, incinerated to generate electricity (waste heat used to dry them) and the phosphate and potassium residue sequestered in the leaves removed from the lake and or reused upstream.

The golden edge reflections with the water are really interesting. But in a painting you might reject it as unreal. In the photograph you notice it but figure (I am assuming) it was some optical effect of the moment.

I am wondering if you saw it like that photograph depicts when you took the picture, or if he was an effect from the camera?

deborah, you mean the leaves on the car hood (I am assuming)? I do not see it there as much. But Ann does take a lot of pond shots that get some unusual reflections. But sometimes I wonder if it is interesting distortion from the camera or an optical effect you would see in person (assuming you were standing in the same place, spot and time).

Wisconsin is so very beautiful. I went on pilgrimage (from Florida) to Ashland, Ws to visit the grave of Tom Blake (influential surfer from the 1920's and 30's) and then on to the west coast. Scenic. I wonder what it's like in the winter? June was gorgeous.

Sixty Grit. It is stories like that that make you want to strangle idiots who claim the only way to "save" the medical insurance industry is to ban lawsuits.

I have no problem at all making the standard for medical malpractice high. It should be. People die (especially sick people) and doctors should not be blamed for that--that is why we have doctors (to help sick people). But when you have such clear negligence, it is critical that there be accountability. Otherwise there is zero incentive to change it.

And I say that as a conservative.

And I know there are hucksters and shysters. But less of them now a days than you think.
